SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 292,501, dated January 29, 1884.

Application filed October 26, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY L. Moonna citizen of the United States, residing near Dawson, in the county of Terrell and State of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Double Plow-Stocks or Cultivators, of which the following isa specification, reference being had therein to the ac companying drawings.

My invention relates to an improvement in plows andplow-stocks. p

The object of the invention is to provide a plow that is strong and durable, and yet light. Thefivarious details of construction, arrange ment, and operation of the several parts will be hereinafter more fully set forth in the specification and pointed outin the accompanying.

drawings, in which Figure l is a perspective view of my improved plow. Fig. 2 is a transverse section side is less inclined, and turned again toward est strain occurs. are also bolted to thestock, one of the shovelthe front end, as indicated in Fig. 2. The sides of the plow are strengthened and pro,-

tected by metal strips a, which are brought' up near to the forward end of the stock and bolted thereto by bolt a.- These strips do not touch the central widened portion of the stock, but are curved or sprung outwardly, so as to come outside of the bars 0, upon which the shovel-standards are adjusted. At this central point the fastening-irons b of the handles, the bars 0, and interposed metallic plates are all brought together and are bolted through the stock by bolt a. This gives great strength to that portion of the stock where the great- The rear ends of the bars standards being interposed between the band and stock. This band, bent or curved outwardly and centrally, acts to press in centrally when bolted. There are two adjust-able feet at a greater or less angle to the ground, and

thereby the shovels or shares (1 are given a greater or less cutting-angle, as desired. is evident from this that the depth of plowing can be regulated, even in the field where different grounds are to be passed over, by simply removing the bolt or pin 12 and adjusting the bar G as desired. The platcsa, extending outwardly, as shown, allow the insertion ofxinterior plates, 1) and a whereby greater strength is secured. I

This stock A, when constructed as described, allows the front and rear share or shovel to travel along without the jerking motion usually given by the ordinary stock or beam. Again, by securing the handle in the manner described the lower ends do not have to be let into the stock or beam. Different shovels or shares can be applied to the same plow.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. A plow having a stock, A, or beam, the central part enlarged, the handle, braces, or securing-plates b, the adjustable standards and the plates or strips a being secured together at said central part of the beam by a single bolt, substantially as shown and described, and for the purpose-set forth.

2. In a plow, the combination,with a beam beveled from the center toward the ends thereof, of the adjustable standards, the outwardly sprung strips a, and the handles, the ends of which rest on the top of the beam, the securing-plates of which are bolted to the stock by a single central bolt, which also secures the bars a and strips a, substantially as shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I hereto a'ffix my signature inpresence of two witnesses.
